Most likely, Thunderbird is "recognizing" the sig marker (a line 
containing only two hyphens followed by a space) and graying out what 
follows. If I'm right, my sig below should be grayed out but the body of 
this message should be fine.

A quick and dirty workaround would be to copy/paste the entire digest 
into Notepad, Wordpad, or some other program that doesn't know about 
email coding conventions. You'd still reply in Tbird, of course, but in 
the other program, you'd be free to choose your favorite fond style, 
color, size, etc.
